6 weeks in the Amazon

ISU student finds adventure while pursuing dream internship

By Jace.Dostal @iowastatedaily.com

L

iving abroad can be scary for many students, but try living in a tree house in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest.

That is exactly what Sam Ennett, senior in global resource systems, did this summer.

Ennett is required to study abroad and have an internship for his major, but he said he didn’t want to do a normal internship; he wanted his experience to be unique.

“I wanted something that let me work with water filtration,” Ennett said.

He turned to Google to start his search.

“I eventually found this website that allowed people to advertise internships and found a guy who was looking for exactly what I wanted to do,” Ennett said.

It just so happened that this internship was hosted in the Ecuadorian rainforest region — a region so isolated that it’s three hours from the nearest city.

Ennett’s internship host, Cesar Tucupi, is an Ecuadorian who lived with the indigenous people of the rainforest

region and helped keep their village standing. Tucupi aided with repairs and any other tasks that were required and also hosted a number of nongovernment organization members who were there for work.

Once Ennett found the internship, he was hooked.

He knew it was exactly what he was looking for.

It provided him with a unique experience and allowed him to study exactly what he wanted to.

But what did his family think about him spending six weeks in the Amazon Rainforest?

“My parents were fine with it, for the most part,” Ennett said. “I studied abroad in Switzerland during my sophomore year, and [my parents] definitely fought that one more than this. I think they knew it was either I do this or I completely change my major.”

His grandparents, on the other hand, didn’t want him to go.

“They were convinced I was going to be attacked by some wild animal,” Ennett said.

Before traveling to Ecuador, Ennett had to take a survival course, where he researched the major regions

of Ecuador, learned any hand gestures that wouldn’t be appropriate to use and had to locate the nearest hospital.

“This class prepared me for about 50 percent of the challenges I encountered in Ecuador,” Ennett said.

Ted MacDonald, professor of global research systems, said the survival course is meant to prepare students for possible situations they might run into and teach them to think on their own.

“We try to make sure our students can think through things so they aren’t surprised or overwhelmed when they visit a new country,” MacDonald said. “However, there is no substitute for actually putting your feet on the ground.”

Once Ennett had been accepted for the internship, he expected to hear from Tucupi, but didn’t receive an email until a week before he left. All the email said was that Tucupi would meet him at the bus stop in Macas.

“It was weird,” Ennett said. “I was going to a new country and all I really knew about my host was that he would meet me at a bus stop.”

Once Ennett reached Macas, he was in for a surprise. “[Tucupi] told me we were going to go for a hike,”

Ennett said. “That hike turned out to be a three-hour trek through the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. About halfway through we encountered a river [and Tucupi] told me to strip to my underwear so my clothes wouldn’t get wet.

Once on the other side, he told me to just keep my clothes off for the rest of the hike.”

This was no ordinary hike either. Ennett said no marked path existed and the ground had turned into about four inches of mud.

Once Ennett reached the village of the Shuar, the indigenous community, and was able to get dressed, the Shuar hosted a meeting.

“I was sitting at this meeting listening to the Shuar speak, not understanding any of it because they were speaking Shuar,” Ennett said. “I knew they were talking about me though because I could pick out select Spanish words.

They kept saying ‘American.’”

Ennett said the Shuar do not have words for things that were created after their language, like America, so they use the Spanish word when necessary.

“I asked [Tucupi] later what they were talking about, and it turns out they thought I

Sanders grows post-debate support

By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com Despite national media crowning candidate Hillary Clinton winner of the Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders supporters are satisfied with the Vermont senator’s performance.

It’s been a week since the five candidates running for the Democratic nomination appeared on the national stage together for the first time to debate the issues.

“Overall, I think he did really, really well,” said Rosie Cook, freshman in pre-business and president of Students for Bernie.

“I think he fumbled a little with foreign policy, but I hope that means he can grow from that in the future.”

Despite being the underdog, the self-described “Democratic-socialist” has gained more

A crowd gathers to see Bernie Sanders speak at Iowa’s Latino Heritage Festival in Des Moines on Sept. 26. Sanders has been growing support since last week’s debate.

supporters than analysts ever expected, but a majority of polls still indicate Sanders being behind Clinton.

Cook said Sanders exem-

plified his no-smear campaign when speaking to other candidates, and expressed his policy well.

“I knew he wasn’t going to

attack Hillary,” said McKinly Springer, junior in pre-business and a recruiter for Students for Bernie.

Springer said he thought Sanders’ decision to not attack Clinton during the debate was the right move, including Sanders’s now infamous comment about Clinton’s emails.

“I think he did a very good job,” Springer said.

As for how Sanders compared to Clinton, Mack Shelley, professor of political science, said Sanders and Clinton see eye to eye on a few things, but Sanders’ stance on gun control could be a problem. “[Sanders] certainly got in trouble over gun control,” Shelley said.

During the debate, Clinton said Sanders was too soft when it came to gun control, although,

ISU aims to replace Veishea

By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Though the official Veishea celebrations are as crushed as the light pole students knocked down in the 2014 riot, President Steven Leath received recommendations from the Veishea task force outlining possible events that could fill the void.

The task force was formed after the 2014 riot, where students threw bottles and rocks at police and tore down street signs and a light pole that injured one man.

The committee consisted of faculty and representatives from Student Government, a studentathlete and members of Student Affairs.

The committee found that the official Veishea traditions were overshadowed by the unofficial activities with which students associated the celebration of colleges.

It said students wanted entertainment, and the traditions of Veishea were not serving a purpose because students were not engaging in the official activities.

Veishea also provided many student organizations on campus with an opportunity to fundraise for their club.

One of the recommendations was that another campuswide event would not take place late in the spring semester. One of the main purposes for another event is to showcase the students at Iowa State.

The recommendations include: • A winter event, which would be early to mid-January to welcome students back to campus.

• A celebration in February that would feature the sell of cherry pies for Valentine’s Day. The event may also celebrate Black History Month.

• A “March Madness” event where a game watch party will take place at Hilton Coliseum for the final men’s basketball game.

This could give clubs a chance to display their products and fundraise.

• A celebration of arts in April that would highlight artistic factions of the university, such as the Fashion Show, theatre production groups and Cyclone Market.

• A parade that would use the same route as the homecoming parade. It would begin in downtown Ames and conclude on campus, with a possible college showcase at the end.

• Community service event: Students would lead a community service project during the fall semester.

ISU’s tall tales continue to circulate student body

By Kyndal.Reimer @iowastatedaily.com Regina George from “Mean Girls” was elected as homecoming queen after getting hit by a school bus, and Josh and Cooper from “Dead Man on Campus” received 4.0s when their roommate passed away.

Although both of those examples are fictitious movies, Iowa State has its own tales. It has been rumored that if a student gets hit by a CyRide bus they’ll receive free tuition for the remainder of their college years. Another rumor is that if a student’s roommate were to pass away, they’d receive all As in their

classes.

These urban legends have been circling the student body for years. However, both morbid tales are fictitious.

“The rumor regarding a student getting all As if their roommate passes away is 100 percent false, and frankly, a grossly inappropriate thing to make light of,” said Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator at the Department of Residence and ISU Dining.

Kipp Van Dyke, assistant dean of students, reflected on how long these myths have been around, even when he was a student himself.

“These are the sort of tales that it’s impossible to narrow

down the roots for. They’ve been around forever,” Van Dyke said.

“There’s no blanket policy for dealing with these situations.

We’re not just going to say ‘Hey, here’s a check,’ but we are going to navigate what it is you need.”

While the university does not offer any academic or financial bonuses in such tragic circumstances, it does offer support and resources for students.

“Mental health is an incredibly important subject,” Rutherford said. “Whether it’s suicide, murder or an accident, death happens, and helping students with the grief process, whatever that looks like, they have our full support in that situation.”

Rutherford said the severity

of the situation doesn’t matter, and the university has means to help students cope.

“If anything happens to a student — they break a leg or an arm, a death in their family, a death in their roommates family, or anything of that nature — we are here for them,” Rutherford said.

The death of a roomate myth, which rose and gained popularity in the mid-1970s, according to a study done bySnopes.com, an online fact-checking site, has been featured in the plots of movies such as “Dead Man on Campus” and “Dead Man’s Curve,” and TV shows such as “The Simpsons,” “Law & Order” and “CSI New York.”

When CyRide drivers were asked if they had heard the talltale regarding free tuition in the case that a student gets hit by a bus, the immediate reaction was a laugh. All of the drivers had heard the story before, and most found it humorous that students would be that gullible.

“To be fair, urban legends like that are out there and students are bound to play around with them,” Van Dyke said.

“However, I would caution people to be sensitive in these tragedies. It wouldn’t be helpful for people in the middle of those tragedies to be questioned about whether or not they’re being compensated for their losses. It’s nothing to joke about.”

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com No. 5 Cyclone Hockey will play its first and only mid-week game of the year against junior college Williston State on Tuesday evening at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

The Cyclones head into the matchup 8-1-1 after sweeping the Illinois State Redbirds during the weekend. The game won’t count toward the American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings.

The Tuesday showdown comes before the Cyclones host a weekend

series against No. 3 Lindenwood. Coach Jason Fairman said the team will tinker with the lineups and probably put some Division III guys on the ice to avoid fatigue and injuries.

Cyclone Hockey’s focus remains on Lindenwood this week even with the midweek game.

Undocumented immigrant to speak in Memorial Union

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Jose Antonio Vargas, an undocumented immigrant who has worked in the United States as a journalist for more than a decade, will give a lecture titled “Define American: My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant” at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Vargas has worked for the Washington Post and the Huffington Post since

graduating from San Francisco State in 2004. His coverage with Post reporters covering the Virginia Tech shootings won a Pulitzer Prize.

Vargas wrote an essay in The New York Times Sunday Magazine about what his life is like as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, and has advocated for immigration reform while testifying in front of a U.S. Senate committee.

Vargas also wrote and directed “White People”

— a program that aired on MTV about what it means to be young and white in the United States.

Council to discuss CyRide

The workshop will take place at 6 p.m. at Ames City Hall. Council and board members will talk about the transportation budget and current demands on CyRide.

“One thing that students might not realize is how complex the balance between funding, student enrollment and bus service

is,” said Councilwoman Gloria Betcher.

Betcher said federal transportation funds have been reduced at precisely the time that a record number of students rely on CyRide.

The influx of students on campus has created a series of other issues for CyRide as well.

“Increasing enrollment has also stimulated the development of new apartment complexes throughout Ames,” said Sam Schulte, student in biochemistry and ex-officio representative for the City Council. “Further challenging CyRide’s ability to provide adequate service over

City Council will also be meeting with Student Government on Wednesday night to continue the discussion about funding for CyRide.

“CyRide has been a model for transportation excellence for decades, and we all want to see the service continue to meet the needs of the Ames/ISU community,” Betcher said.

Potent ‘study’ drugs remain popular

By Erin Selin, IowaWatch reporter A little blue pill, popped one hour before a student hits the library, is now considered a key to getting A’s in college. College students are relying on drugs like Adderall and Vyvanse to meet the strains of a competitive college curriculum.

They use the stimulants, dubbed “study drugs,” to boost their focus while meeting the pressure to have a social life, do extra curricular activities, have a job and get good grades.

However, many students who take the drugs do not have a prescription. A lot of them get the drugs from friends, seeking a boost to handle all the tasks they face as college students.

The search for a boost has been around for a while.

University of KentuckyLexington students in a 2007 study said they believed taking stimulants without a prescription was all right because they were doing it for the right reason—getting good grades.

This study, conducted

by Alan DeSantis, a professor of communications at the university, found that 34 percent of participants used stimulants illegally.

Participants were 175 undergraduate students at the university.

The true purpose of these medications, which increase a person’s concentration and productivity, is to treat ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Dr. Carver Nebbe, a psychiatrist at the Thielen Student Health Center at Iowa State University, said he believes there is a widespread use of stimulants

Students take Adderall and Vyvanse stimulants to perform well in college.

on that campus, both prescribed and not prescribed.

He added in an IowaWatch interview that he’s seen a large increase in demand for ADHD evaluations over the last few years.

Nebbe said the drug use could be happening “because it makes what is probably the most difficult cognitive act – intense concentration – much easier.”

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health published a report in 2009 stating that full-time college students ages 18 to 22 were twice as likely to use Adderall for non-medical reasons than part-time students. This could be attributed to full-time students having a more demanding course load.

Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse are just a few drugs that can boost a person’s focus. The drugs are amphetamine and dextroamphetamine combined.

Some who are prescribed these stimulants see it as an opportunity to make cash. Using or selling these drugs without a prescription is a felony, but that doesn’t stop students across the country from doing it. Multiple reports on the topic and IowaWatch interviews reveal that pills

typically sell for around $5, although the price can jump to as high as $25 during midterms or finals.

Real need for the medicines Blood work or DNA testing is not used to determine if someone has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and ADHD, the Attention Deficit Disorder Association states. Instead, patients must go through a thorough psychiatric and physical examination. This is usually done by conducting detailed interviews and several symptom-rating scales. Physicians conducting this test must have extensive knowledge about ADD/ADHD because other conditions can often mimic them, the association states.

Despite the illegal sales students with diagnosed mental diseases need the medicine, interviews showed. Their experiences explain the attraction for those who do not need it.

“When I am on my medicine I want to write everything,” said Mackie Furlong, 22, a University of Iowa senior from Western Springs, Ill., who is prescribed Vyvanse and Adderall for her ADHD. “Even if we don’t have to take notes,

I still do. I just love being productively busy when I’m on the medicine.”

Furlong is studying social work. She said she is prescribed 50 mg of Vyvanse, which she takes five to six times a week, and 10 mg Adderall boosters, which help make her medicine stronger later in the day if she has class or studying to do.

While these medications are known to increase productivity and attention, that doesn’t always mean productivity for school.

“If I’m supposed to write a paper, and I want to clean my room, I’m going to clean my room. I get productive about the wrong things,” said Kristin Jokela, 22, of Lombard, Ill., a senior in the University of Iowa College of Nursing. Jokela is prescribed 25 mg of extended release Adderall for ADD. Jokela said getting Adderall on the Iowa City campus is easy because some people who are prescribed don’t take it every day, so they sell the leftovers. Jokela said she does not do this.

“With the students that do buy it from other students on occasion, or regularly, they do not seem to see any harm in taking it,” Tricia Borelli, director of counseling services at Loras College, said. “It can almost be comparable to an over-the-counter medication for them. They do not seem concerned about side effects.”

In fact, Adderall has become so blasé that a Twitter account called “@ AdderallHadMe” exists to make light of the effects of Adderall. One tweet from Nov. 3, 2014, said, “Adderall had me opening a bunch of fortune cookies and becoming fluent in Chinese.”

However, the account has

not produced many posts; the most recent was Dec. 24, 2014.

Warnings to be heeded While parodies make light of Adderall use in the college culture, the drug can have unpleasant side affects.

Shelley O’Connell, executive director of health and recreation services at the University of Northern Iowa, said these negative side effects can include insomnia, irritability, potentially irreversible tics, psychosis, potential for abuse and drug dependence, withdrawal when stopping the medications, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, stroke, seizures, and even possibly sudden cardiac death.

Loss of appetite is another common side affect of stimulants, which can lead to weight loss if the medication is abused. Jokela said, “I have bad blood circulation, so my toes turn purple.

And sometimes I forget to eat.”

Furlong said she eats less while on her medicine and feels moody and has headaches when coming down from it.

If these stimulants are abused and not monitored through a prescription, addiction is feasible.

“Often times underlying mental illness becomes more apparent during college years, so there may be an association without a true causation related to addiction in college students,” Dr. Matthew Cantrell, a clinical associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Iowa, said. “Some college students may be more impressionable or feel pressured to perform, whether it be the demands of a busy academic schedule or work schedule.”

Abuse becomes even

easier when the drug is used in a party setting instead of for productivity. Partiers often ingest the drug by crushing it and snorting it, dangerous because of the rapid increase in bloodstream concentration.

Snorting the drug can cause respiratory problems, destruction of nasal and lung tissue, and long-term effects can be developmental issues in the brain or death.

The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies Adderall as a Schedule II drug, meaning it has high potential for dependence.

Other Schedule II drugs are methamphetamine and cocaine.

The stimulants are C-II medications, the most highly regulated prescription medications that even when used for legitimate medical purposes have the potential for abuse and dependence, Cantrell said.

The false idea of stimulants being harmless draws people in, believing that Adderall and similar drugs are safe to take even without a prescription.

“Since you can function on Adderall you can go to work or drive and not even know it, it really isn’t like a real drug. Like alcohol, you could never really function if you are really drunk,” said a student in DeSantis’ Kentucky study.

Loras’ Borelli had a different view: “Short-term effects can be that students are more efficient, which only perpetuates their desire to keep using, which can lead to dependency.”

Search for new ISU Dining director narrows

By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Students and faculty may say the various dining centers remain a pivotal part of campus life, but since December of 2014, Iowa State has been without it’s official dining director of almost nine years, Nancy Keller.

The responsibilities have been deferred to Tom Hill, vice president for Student Affairs, while the search to fill the position has begun.

“We contracted with a group called Spelman and Johnson in late summer to facilitate the search,” said Martino Harmon, associate vice president for Student Affairs. ”They advertised the position and communicated with people all over the country. Their function was to generate a pool of qualified applicants.”

After the initial search, Mark Hall, a representative of Spelman and Johnson, assessed the pool group and brought 12 names of possible candidates for the position to the dining director search committee, which is headed by Harmon and eight other members.

“We’ve been given the

applications of about 10 or 12 that Mark Hall says are good enough for our consideration,” Harmon said.

“He came and met with us in advance and we read through each one and gave our feedback. Now we’ve narrowed down that list from 12 to 8. Where we are at now is phone interviews with those eight.”

The number of candidates remaining after the phone interviews will be cut even further, until the remaining few are invited onto campus for a guided tour within the first two weeks of November.

Although at first glance the role of a dining director may seem self-explanatory, it’s not just about running the various dining centers located on campus. ”First and foremost, the goal is to provide leadership, so we can have a dining program that students will like and use,” Harmon said. “This includes management of staff. We have over 1,500 students who work in the ISU Dining department, and the rec management team for the different dining halls.”

The dining director is also expected to manage the budget and provide financial oversight.

“We are looking for those who are creative and have a vision, for not only what our dining program looks like now but also what it can look like in the future,” Harmon said.

Innovation and creative thinking was a focal point for the search committee as enhancements to the dining program under Keller were a success among students. The Global Café in Curtiss Hall and Courtyard Café in Lagomarcino Hall were both created by Keller in order to evenly distribute students searching for a snack across campus.

“Another big push for Nancy was trying to use Iowa products, to use food that was grown in Iowa as much as possible. It was a big emphasis,” Harmon said.

The push refers to the Farm to ISU food program, which was initiated in 2007 to increase the purchases of local Iowa based foods. Currently, 12 percent of all ISU Dining food products stem from this program.

Food programs like Farm to ISU make the dining program unique when compared with other colleges across the country.

Unlike other institutions, Iowa State does not run the

manufacturing of its food through a contractor, but is instead independent. Contracted dining programs will hire companies to cook and ship food products to the school instead of making the items in-house. ”Our dining program is self-operated, which allows us to be more creative, more responsive and connected with the overall student experience,” Harmon said.

Sustainability efforts were also enforced campuswide to reduce wasteful practices and harm to the environment. Iowa State has done away with trays as a way to reduce food waste and control student portions.

“Going trayless was intentional, as students when given a tray tend to just pile on food and a lot of that goes to waste,” Harmon said. “Whereas if you get a plate, you tend to get only what you need and be less wasteful.”

Measures like these were all parts of the initiatives Keller created.

For the dining director search team, having student input for the future of the dining program was an important goal. Because of this, two students — one from the Inter-Residence

Harmon said IRHA holds an equally important position during the search.

“They have the same voice as anybody else on the committee,” Harmon said. “Their opinions and viewpoints we really want to hear. The position is someone we want students to be comfortable with, so they know if they aren’t speaking up, I’ll ask what they are thinking.”

Greifenkamp believes it will be important for the future dining director to listen to students and take requests.

he wanted to implement a greywater filtration system in the river. “The problem with the river was that the Shuar used the river to bathe, drink and dispose of waste,�

Ennett said. “With the filtration system in place, the river will be safer for them to drink.�

The only problem was the Shuar live in the middle of the rainforest, which is not the easiest place to transport material. So Ennett decided to do smaller tasks around the village while he waited for the materials to arrive.

“Despite all the planning students can do before going abroad, nothing ever goes perfectly,� MacDonald said. “We teach our students to take advantage of opportunities presented to them.�

Ennett said some of the tasks he helped with included digging trenches to stop the communal meeting place from flooding during heavy rains and teaching English to the Shuar children. “The school teachers don’t speak English, so the students were learning English from only a text-

Ennett finally got the supplies for the filtration system, but he ran out of time to build it.

Ennett instead had to translate the building instructions into Spanish, so Tucupi could build it later. “It was disappointing, not being able to finish the work that I had gone to Ecuador to do,� Ennett said. “Even though I didn’t finish my work, it was an absolutely wonderful experience.�

Student Government representatives discuss multicultural issues on campus at its meeting last Wednesday.

Iowa State Daily

Columnist Heckle argues that the United States should adopt drug laws similar to Portugal in order to help treat drug abusers instead of condemning them as criminals. The United States spends $40 million per year on drug enforcement, including the cost of imprisoning drug users.

We lost the war on drugs United States should adapt drug polices similar to Portugal’s

By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

T

he war on drugs in America has proven to be a complete and utter failure.

Trillions of tax payer dollars have been spent on trying to enforce ineffective drug laws. Recidivism — a tendency to relapse into criminal behavior — and drug use is on the rise.

After 40 years, it’s clear that the war is lost, but we are not the only country to experience such an epidemic.

By the year 2000, Portugal faced the worst drug problem in Europe.

With 1 percent of the population addicted to heroin, the Portuguese government made the decision to eliminate criminal penalties for all drugs.

While trafficking and soliciting are still criminally processed, possession of a small amount of any substance, from marijuana to methamphetamine, is legal in Portugal.

Portugal has put an emphasis on treating drug addiction by allowing easier access to drug treatment centers as an alternative to paying a fine.

This policy has been tremendously successful. Not only has drug use in Portugal been cut in half during the 15 years these laws have been

in place, but adolescent drug use has decreased astronomically since 2003.

Portugal and other countries that embrace similar laws have statistically lower rates of drug use than countries like the U.S. Drug-induced deaths in Portugal have also been significantly reduced, from 80 deaths in 2001 to 16 in 2012.

By implementing these new laws, Portugal has succeeded in increasing the amount of users who go to voluntary drug treatment by 60 percent.

HIV and AIDS cases among drug users have decreased as well.

By allowing addicts access to things such as fresh needles, along with treatment, Portugal has managed to reduce diagnosis of HIV in drug users from 1575 cases in 2000 to 78 in 2013. AIDS has decreased in cases from 626 to 74.

The number of individuals arrested and sent to criminal court have decreased by more than 60 percent since 2001. The percentage of individuals in prison for drug related charges has decreased from 44 percent before the change in drug laws to 24 percent in 2013. Seizures of illicit substances have increased.

The United States hasn’t come close to matching this success using its punitive drug policies. The United States currently leads the world in drug use even after a 40-year war attempting to eradicate it. What is even more sickening is the amount of tax payer money that is spent on enforcing these arbitrary and

ineffective laws. The United States spends $40 billion per year on drug enforcement alone.

This includes the cost of imprisoning drug users. It costs tax payers $24,000 every year that person is in prison. Since the recidivism rate of drug-related crimes is a staggering 77 percent , the United States has managed to create an endless cycle of offense, punishment and re-offense that costs tax payers nearly unfathomable amounts of money without solving the issue.

Instead of treating drug users and addicts as criminals, the United States should treat them for what they are — sick individuals.

The average cost of the most effective drug treatment programs is $4,700. And this cost would only be paid once.

The crime of drug use fits neither the retributive nor the rehabilitative aspects of law enforcement.

The crime of drug use, by itself, hurts only one person — the user. No need for any kind of retribution exists.

No logical reason exists to continue this pointless assault on users.

The United States is at a point in its existence where policies toward drugs need to change. Adapting a policy such as the ones that are enforced in Portugal would help millions of drug users and save tax payers billions of dollars.

With the success Portugal has had in the last 15 years, the decriminalization of drugs should not be inconceivable in the United States.

Feminism has been taken too far

Some taking advance for equality too far

By JoEllen.Keenan @iowastatedaily.com

Last year in one of my classes, we discussed feminism in America. During the class discussion, a commercial was used as an example to show how society is degrading to women.

The commercial was attempting to sell a cleaning product and it featured a woman using the product.

The student presenting the commercial said the gender-role stereotyping in the commercial was offensive. She believed that having a woman cleaning was completely opposite of the social equality feminism strives to attain and therefore makes the whole commercial degrading to women.

I could not wrap my head around this. I didn’t take the commercial offensively, and the people who did, like the student presenting, baffled me a bit.

I tried to understand their reasoning: a woman cleaning on TV reinforces the stereotype that only women clean and that cleaning is all women are capable of doing. Since the commercial shows a woman cleaning while using the product, the stereotype was still implied,

so the commercial therefore is insulting to women.

My only question is, why do we even have to look at the commercial through such a defensive lens?

Why do we have to take the commercial, read too much into it and twist it into something degrading towards women?

Why can’t it just be a commercial with a woman cleaning her kitchen with the product?

Because I would bet anything that there is in fact a woman cleaning her kitchen with said product, feeling empowered because of her other accomplishments.

It was either they use a woman or a man in the commercial, and they chose a woman.

I want to be very clear here, I am not anti-feminist. I absolutely believe in gender equality.

Women are just as capable as men.

I think the gap between genders is ridiculous and unnecessary. Yes, women should be paid as much as men; no, women are not incapable of running a company. Women should not be expected to fulfill culturally-prescribed gender roles.

Just as men should not be expected to fulfill culturallyprescribed gender roles. I’m all for equality.

If anyone believes my interpretation of the commercial is anti-feminist, I’m sorry, but perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to look

at why what I’m saying is so offensive to you.

Society is just too sensitive.

That commercial did not set out to degrade women; taking it and turning it into something so insulting is the part of what puts feminism on some people’s radar as harsh and negative.

A lot of anti-feminist movements in today’s society are fueled by the extreme ways feminists act, and the extreme stances feminists take on unrelated societal issues.

Recently, a social media movement called Women Against Feminism developed, where different women post selfies that show them holding a piece of paper stating why they are against feminism.

Many of the signs stated things such as, “I don’t need feminism, feminism promotes making men our enemies. Men aren’t our enemies.”

Feminism shouldn’t actually be viewed as promoting turning men into enemies, though. Feminism is defined as “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.”

It’s the radical people, the people who do things like take a cleaning commercial and twist it into a statement about men’s domination over women, that give the impression that feminism is something much more negative than it is.

Feminism is about equality, not exerting female power

Columnist Keenan believes that feminism has become women vs. men.

over men.

Of course there are exceptions. There is always going to be an extreme, radically-inclined feminist group.

Just as there will always be another group at the opposite end of the spectrum, promoting patriarchy and stereotypical gender roles.

Feminism is good, in a healthy dose.

I absolutely believe we are equal. Women deserve just as much as men. But it is important to remember that we deserve just as much as men, not more than.

The day when an advertisement for a cleaning product featuring a woman is seen as nothing more than an ad is the day of true equality.

Diversity initiatives will benefit Iowa State When a woman decided to rip an ISU student’s protest poster at the CyHawk game on Sept. 12, the action ignited a larger conversation among ISU students, faculty and staff. Whether the people who were involved knew their actions would spark a movement much larger than themselves, they certainly shed light on multicultural issues on our campus.

The student whose poster was ripped was a member of a group consisting of mostly hispanic students protesting Donald Trump’s hate speech on undocumented immigrants while he was visiting Ames. The woman who ripped the poster, Shelby Mueller, is white. News coverage of her actions went viral, and the event triggered an emotional open forum at Iowa State on multicultural student issues that have been around since far before that football game.

The racism, discrimination and safety issues discussed in the forum inspired Student Government to propose initiatives to the administration about how to improve the multicultural students’ experience at Iowa State. While the initiatives aren’t perfect, and some are unrealistic, they are positive starts.

The initiatives submitted to administration last week include the creation of a multicultural safe zone program; the creation of an ISU Police Department multicultural liaison and sensitivity training for the department; a diversity awareness course required for all incoming students; improvement of existing cultural centers and consideration of additional centers; and the creation of multicultural-based learning communities.

Many Student Government senators said during their last meeting that while these initiatives are not perfect and will not fix everything, they are steps in the right direction for Iowa State. We would have to agree.

Perhaps the most unlikely of the initiatives is the required class for incoming students on multicultural issues and awareness. Incoming students are already required to take both Title IX and Alcohol Edu online classes that prove to not be very effective. Should another required course be developed to only focus on one subset of students at Iowa State?

However, the two most promising initiatives seem to be the police liaison and the learning community. ISU Police already has a LGBTQ+ community liaison who has proven to be beneficial to that community, and it appears that one for multicultural students would be easily implemented. An ISU Police position also addresses one of the most talked about issues at the open forum — multicultural students don’t feel safe on campus.

Learning communities for multicultural students seem to be easily implemented as well. The university already has framework for both residential and nonresidential learning communities. These learning communities would allow students to voice concerns and share common experiences.

Defense faces toughest challenge yet

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s opponent this weekend wears a different uniform, but aside from that, the story remains much the same.

No rest is on the horizon for the Cyclones, who will take on the No. 2-ranked Baylor Bears this Saturday in Waco, Texas.

It will be the third straight game in which Iowa State has squared off against one of the nation’s top three offenses and the second week in a row the Cyclones have faced a team ranked in the top three nationally.

ISU coach Paul Rhoads visited with a recruit and his mother Sunday morning at Rhoads’ home. Even a player not yet committed to Iowa State could sympathize with the Cyclones’ predicament.

“Coach, who do you got this week?’” the recruit asked.

“Baylor,” Rhoads replied. “We get to face the No. 3, the No. 2 and now the No. 1 total offensive teams in the country backto-back-to-back.”

Two words from the young man summed it all up.

“Good luck.”

Iowa State might well need a spot of luck, not to mention a whole lot more, to pull out a win on the road against the country’s best offense, which has compiled 720 yards per game this season.

That is roughly 100 more yards per contest than the previous two ISU opponents, Texas Christian and Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs and Red Raiders combined to score 111 total points on the Cyclones over a two-week span.

Baylor enters Saturday with an average of 64 points per outing, easily besting both TCU and Texas Tech.

The dynamic Baylor offense rises from several factors, starting with quarterback Seth Russell.

“He’s been plugged into the offense, and he’s run it as efficiently as the guys in front of him,” Rhoads said. “And I thought the three [quarterbacks] before him were pretty good.

One [Robert Griffin III] won the Heisman, and as I’ve stated before, I thought the

LANNING A HAND ISU coach Paul Rhoads addressed Monday why he chose not to play backup quarterback Joel Lanning more than

two snaps against No. 3 Texas Christian, especially after one of those snaps turned into a 74-yard ISU touchdown. “[That was] a phenome-

Russell has compiled more than 1,900 passing

yards and 27 touchdowns this season, but last week he had a breakout rushing performance of 160 yards

nal play by Allen [Lazard],” Rhoads said of the touchdown pitch and catch that defined Lanning’s outing. “Probably not a ball that should have

been thrown, but when you throw it to Allen, you’re safe sometimes.”

Rhoads added that he didn’t like the matchups he saw across the ball or

against West Virginia.

Rhoads said this development will only give his defensive coaches that many more headaches.

Russell’s rushing also made ISU linebacker Jordan Harris take serious notice.

“That’s the only thing that stood out to me, him running the ball,” Harris said. “I knew he was a good passer, and I knew he had great weapons around him, but when he ran for 160 yards, I was like, ‘Dang, this guy can do it all.’”

Perhaps Russell’s most lethal weapon is wide receiver Corey Coleman, who Rhoads referred to as a “touchdown waiting to happen.” Coleman is garnering Heisman consideration after finding the end zone 16 times already only midway through the season.

Turning the defensive coaches’ collective headache into a migraine, they must decide if doubling Coleman is a tactic they can afford to employ with so much talent and speed spread across the Baylor offense.

“The defensive staff spent about four hours this

the way the TCU defense responded to the motion during Lanning’s two snaps, but admitted in hindsight that he should have extended Lanning’s

morning on a couple different formations with that question in mind,” Rhoads said. “One of the answers that came back was, ‘Well, if we don’t do that, it’s a touchdown.’

“What poison cup do you want to drink out of?”

Rhoads added that the Baylor offense, like TCU’s and Texas Tech’s offenses before it, is not the type that can be adequately prepared for in only a week. The rest of the country can’t keep up with Big 12 offenses.

Still, the ISU defense improved by 21 points in overall production allowed from Texas Tech two weeks ago to TCU last Saturday. If the Cyclones are able even to replicate their performance against the Horned Frogs and hold the Bears to 45 points, ISU fans might have to consider that a victory.

To assume, however, affording Baylor 45 points on the road would lead to an ISU victory is a precarious notion, particularly considering that the ISU offense failed to score in the final 45 minutes against TCU after taking a 21-14 lead to end the first quarter.

time on the field.

When asked if Lanning would play more against Baylor, Rhoads was simple and direct.

“He will.”

High school rivals Phillips, Hillegas become teammates at Iowa State

Kyle Heim/Iowa State Daily

Junior Perez Rotich finishes 65th at the 2014 NCAA Cross-Country Championship on Nov. 22, 2014.

ISU features bright future

By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com When ISU women’s cross-country coach Andrea Grove-McDonough talked about the upcoming season in early September, she spent a brief moment looking at the team’s future.

She has never shied away from speaking highly of her group, but she has known since the beginning that this year’s NCAA CrossCountry Championship is New Mexico’s to lose.

“New Mexico may be the best team I’ve ever seen in 10 years kind of paying attention,” Grove-McDonough said at the beginning of the year. “They’re phenomenal. [They have] potentially four individuals, not just All-Americans, in the top 10 at [NCAAs]. That is an unbeatable team on paper. There’s not much I can do to beat that unless they beat themselves.”

She wasn’t mistaken.

New Mexico’s 32-team

score at Friday’s Wisconsin adidas Invitational beat the previous meet record of 78 points set by Duke in 2009.

For Iowa State, the meet was a learning experience.

Grove-McDonough refers to the runners who ran Friday as warriors. Her squad ran fearlessly without two of its All-Americans from last season to a seventh-place performance.

Iowa State didn’t quite compete at the high level it has become so accustomed to in recent years under Grove-McDonough, but no team as young as Iowa State is immune to growing pains.

None of the ISU runners cracked the top 20, and freshman Becky Straw, a team leader, finished 98th.

Grove-McDonough’s message to Straw was clear and simple: “Great athletes never lose. They either win or they learn.”

The entire team learned Friday.

Not only will the meet benefit Iowa State for the rest of this season but also

next year when the team has a chance to return this entire group along with 2014 AllAmericans Crystal Nelson and Bethanie Brown.

“I bring back this entire team next year,” GroveMcDonough said. “All five of them — that’s an impressive group. That’s a group in every third year, I’d like to think every other year, is going to have a real, real shot at winning a national title.

“Again, that’s banking on those girls deciding they want to come back. It’s banking on none of them being hurt.”

Nelson; Brown; Perez Rotich, who finished 23rd at the Wisconsin invite; Erin Hooker, who finished 24th at Wisconsin; and Straw all have at least one year of cross-country eligibility remaining.

For now, the Cyclones are focused on the remainder of this season.

“We’re just kind of having fun and seeing where we can end up at Nationals,” Hooker said.

Abby Phillips and Hali Hillegas looked across the net at one another in the quarterfinals of the Iowa State Volleyball tournament, never thinking they’d be on the same side of the net at Iowa State.

Phillips and Hillegas had no relationship during high school. One summer they played on the same club team and realized that they’d be teammates for college. The chemistry between the two freshmen grew throughout the past five months, and now the two look ahead to another defensive success.

“Knowing that both of us were coming to Iowa State after club season made us feel more comfortable with one another,” Hillegas said.

The last time Phillips, from Marion High School in Marion, Iowa, and Hillegas, from Charles City High School in Charles City, Iowa, met in high school, Phillips’ team was advancing to the Iowa State Volleyball Semifinals. Hillegas was heading home and looking forward to a summer with the Club Iowa (CIA) volleyball team.

What Hillegas didn’t know at that time was that Phillips was about to join the team for the summer.

When the two started playing together, they were excited about the opportunity to form chemistry as well as provide some competition between each other.

legas, so throughout the club season, Hillegas would ask Phillips questions about the college. Her answers, and their overall relationship as teammates, helped Hillegas decide to be a Cyclone instead of her initial plan to attend Northern Iowa.

“In the beginning, we were more of volleyball acquaintances, but once we reached college, we started becoming more close,” Phillips said. “As a freshman it can be hard to transition, and as a player you struggle, so it was nice to have someone to struggle with together.”

The chemistry between the two has progressively grown throughout the summer and into the volleyball season at Iowa State.

ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch has described Phillips and Hillegas as two competitive players who enjoy intensity and always have a knack to learn.

She said that’s the reason why the team signed

the two players, and she knows the future is bright with these two defensive specialists.

This will be libero Caitlin Nolan’s last year at Iowa State, which means the libero position will be open for any deserving player.

The competition is looking to be among Branen Berta, Phillips and Hillegas, but the spot will have to be earned because of the long-standing tradition of defense at Iowa State.

Phillips and Hillegas know they will be battling against each other for the position, which is what each player expected coming into next season. Even with the competition, the players will be rooting for each other to find any way to contribute to the team next season.

“I think whoever wins the libero position once Nolan leaves will have to beat out some really good players,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“Whoever wins that out is a really great player and will help this team in the future.”

Fashion director’s message: It’s not easy

By Alisha.Humiston @iowastatedaily.com

ted.

Basia Szkutnicka, London College of Fashion director, discussed the different design programs available to students and the benefits of each during a recent visit to Iowa State.

She talked to students about the transition from Iowa to London and stressed the intensity of the programs and the expectations of students and workers in the fashion industry.

Szkutnicka attended Central Saint Martins School of Art, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in women’s wear.

One of the biggest things she took away from her schooling was her network of industry professionals.

Central Saint Martins is one of the most elite fashion programs with only a small number of students admit-

Szkutnicka has more work experience than most could imagine.

Her resume includes authoring multiple textbooks; working for forecasting companies as well as stylists and commercial design companies; starting her own brand; lecturing across the globe; and educating aspiring students.

“I’ve worked in education for maybe the last 20 years but I started just visiting as a lecturer,” Szkutnicka said.

“I got invited to schools to talk about all of the stuff I’ve done. I was asked to apply for this position 17 years ago. I applied for it and I got it. I’ve never ever applied for a job, I have always been asked to apply for a job.”

Many people often view the fashion industry as being glamorous and fun. However, Szkutnicka stressed to students that, in reality, it’s far from the

Basia Szkutnicka, London College of Fashion director, told ISU students the fashion industry is hard to get into and even harder to stay in.

glamorous depictions they have seen.

“The fashion industry is hard to get into and even harder to stay in,” Szkutnicka said. “In today’s world,

there’s more people than there are jobs.”

While working at London College of Fashion for the past 17 years, Szkutnicka said she has seen her fair

share of both success and failure stories when it comes to graduates.

“My favorite part is the success stories and students who have now become friends,” Szkutnicka said.

“We’ve had a number of students from other countries that I still keep in touch with. I love the connection and it really helps to continue the story.”

Szkutnicka is traveling for 21 days to visit a variety of schools and universities, leading programs about the London College of Fashion.

“Its hard work and tiring,” Szkutinicka said. “I love what I do, but I miss home. That’s about the only negative though.”

Out of all the places she’s traveled, Siberia is without doubt her favorite.

“I was there for two days,” Szkutnicka said. “It was really bleak, really gray and ex-communist. The architecture was decaying, but to me that was the most

inspiring place because students were so desperate to learn and so communicative. That was the most incredible place because they are so driven and creative.”

In the near future, Szkutnicka hopes to retire early from the London College of Fashion to write and lecture more.

“I like to write,” Szkutnicka said. “I write articles for magazines, fashion magazines and I’ve just written my second book on vintage fashion details.”

“I love that when I write I am able to write honestly.

I think with the new book coming out it is going to get translated into Chinese, so it could put me on the platform to do even more lecturing.”

To learn more about studying abroad at London College of Fashion and programs designed by Szkutnicka, contact an apparel, merchandising and design adviser.

Runway show supports local philanthropic cause Prairie Moon Winery and Studio 7 Salon and Spa in Ames paired up to raise money for the William R. Bliss Cancer Resource Center at the third annual Bliss Fashion Show on Friday.

Tickets to the show cost $10 if purchased in advance of the event or $15 at the door, and 100 percent of the proceeds went to the research center.

Various members from the community modeled clothing provided by Grey Elephant, Duck Worth Wearing, Kohl’s and The Loft — all retail businesses located in Ames. Studio 7 stylists did the hair and makeup for the event.

By hosting the yearly fashion show, Studio 7

Salon and Spa and various sponsoring local businesses are able to make an annual contribution to the Bliss Cancer Resource Center.

“We have done things in the past with different organizations within the community, but cancer affects so many people,” said Kelley Lowe, designer and team leader at Studio 7. “Instead of going to a bunch of different organizations and trying to do things for them, we wanted to [mainly] focus on one.”

The salon staff hosts and provides styling services for the annual event on a volunteer basis, allowing all proceeds to go to its charity.

The William R. Bliss Cancer Center is located in the Mary Greeley Medical Center, and is run by both

Mary Greeley Medical Center and McFarland Clinic.

The center provides various forms of cancer treatment and therapy to patients. It also offers support groups and events, educates the public about the disease, conducts research through involvement in clinical trials and much more.

The Bliss Cancer Center also has a resource center for cancer patients and their families and friends to use. It is funded by donations and is free for anyone to use.

The center provides the community with a resource library, various types of education and support outlets, and a boutique that provides items like free or reduced-priced wigs.

The winery provided a beautiful venue for the show and offered a size upgrade from the event’s previous venue.Janet Nissen, event coordinator/sales associate at Prairie Moon, expressed her excitement for the collaboration.

“We always like to be involved in philanthropic activities throughout the community,” Nissen said.

“Obviously the Bliss Cancer Center is something really important to this community, so we definitely wanted to be a part of it.”

The winery has hosted many non-profit events in the past, including fundraising for the Boys & Girls Club and working with ISU
